Here’s how to sync your Outlook 2007 contacts with your iPhone or iPod touch:
- Connect your iPhone / iPod touch to your computer with your Apple USB cable.
- iTunes will automatically open. Click on your Apple product under Devices.
- Select the Info tab.

As per syncing emails, you should not look to sync emails from Outlook to your iPhone since it may overload your iPhone. Plus, emails are typically stored on the email server (i.e. Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc) for a period of time so you’ll be able to see the latest emails on your iPhone or iPod touch.
If you have any problems with the above 6 steps, make sure to update your Outlook 2007 to the latest service pack as well as updating iTunes to the latest version. Having an outdated version could prevent a positive outcome here and cause iTunes issues.
